Splitting > Splitting Mode > 1D Planar Splitting

1D Planar Splitting is designed for splitting the current job in one direction, either X or Y, relative to the contents displayed in the View 2D. This mode requires the connected motion controller to have at least one axis configured for planar operation.

note

If an option is grayed out in the Splitting Settings dialog, it cannot be used with the currently selected splitting option. Parameters that are checked but grayed out are not used.

This mode is not optimized for splitting bitmaps. Therefore, some settings, such as Split Overlap or Cog Vectors in Overlap Area, have no effect, as they target vectors. These settings will not be grayed out for bitmaps.

The following table lists all available parameters for 1D Planar Splitting and their availability per marking mode:

[a]: Not available when Top Level Entities as Split Parts is checked.

[b]: Cannot be used together with Group Width.

Configuration of these parameters is done in the 1D Planar Splitting dialog shown below.
